which are specially impressive is the

wife of Desdemonas handkerchief.
Otello and Desdemona are present in
this scene, which is a wide departure
from Shakspeare's tragedy. There IS

To the Editor Of TIC Dispatch:
I see in your issue of January 10Th n
communication from Mr.. w. j. Cooke,
of ST. Adams, w. Va, giving an In
c;dent of the War, " in which soldier
Mr.. John J. johnson, OF this county
figured prominently. 1t was in the
bearing of Stonewall jackson from
the field of battle after he had received
his death-wound.
Mr.. johnson lives near here, and 1t
gives me real pleasure to see that his
gallsntry as a soldier and his worth as
a man are 30 well remembered by one
of his old comrades-in-arms. He truly
deserves everything that Mr.. Cooke says
about him. He is as modest az he is
brave. and, with his remaining arm,
has since the war bravely battled with
poverty and supported his large fami-
". Though poor, he is quiet and
cheerful and is q most estimable citizen.
Nothing would be more becoming or
more worthily bestowed should the
hosts of admirers of Stonewall jackson
all through this broad land raise fund
TO make this modest hero comfortable
the remainder of his'life. Why should
he not receive some substantial recog-
milton of this heroic deed, especially
when he was the only one wounded on
the sad occasion ? 20
